re: Definitive ranking of SEC-era basketball programs

Here's a sample of how I came up with these numbers. Take UK's numbers from the pre-expansion era:

*5 points each: 8 national titles (1933 and '54 Helms Foundation, '34 Premo-Porretta Power Poll, and 5 NCAA-era national titles) = 40 points
*4 points each: 9 NCAA regional titles (Final Fours) = 36 points
*3 points each: 36 SEC overall titles (24 regular-season titles when it decided the overall title, 12 SEC tournament titles when it decided the overall title) = 108 points
*2 points each: 12 SEC regular-season titles when the SEC tournament decided the overall title, 3 SEC tournament titles when the regular-season decided the overall title, 2 SEC playoff titles (1954 and '61) = 34 points
*TOTAL: 218 points
